Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrandon Pettit is a Financial Crimes Investigator based in San Francisco with nine years of cross-functional experience and a focused 4+ year career in AML and Financial Crime Management. He has driven SAR-level investigations, policy development, and transaction monitoring at institutions including Brex, JPMorgan Chase, and First Republic, and led sensitive information-sharing and exploitative review processes. Brandon combines technical fluency with investigative tradecraft—routinely using Actimize, LexisNexis, Tableau, and Bridger Insight—and applies Chinese language skills to analyze cross-border schemes. His MA in Nonproliferation and Terrorism Studies (Financial Crime Management specialization) complements hands-on work translating complex regulatory requirements into auditable processes. Colleagues rely on him for high-priority, high-profile tasks and for turning large alert volumes into clear, defensible outcomes. Outside work he explores offensive security ideas on GitHub, reflecting a curious, adversary-minded approach to uncovering system weaknesses.
